Helenius won a conservative decision..Stieglitz came out on fire and aggressive...pushed Abraham against the ropes with combos. Abe ate a big right hand to the eye, and it was swollen shut. His corner stepped in between rounds and stopped it. 3rd round TKO.

I'm thinking the switch will make USA more competitive

I think so too. Countries like the USA and Mexico historically have had more of a pro style and the game of tag that the amateurs had become in recent years didn't suit them at all.

There is no doubt about it. If USA boxing can be burned to the ground and re-built there is no reason in 10 years the US cannot be one of the dominant teams in boxing and pro boxing will begin to flourish again. As it stands the US will do much better.

Read around a couple places that Manny hasn't been following Ariza's full training regiment since about 2009. But both articles only touch on any issues with Manny and Alex breifly and not much on Manny and training camp.

I know he wanted to make up his own gameplan for the last Marquez fight, and has been involved in his own conditioning regiment. Anyone got a good article on this?

it just came as a shock, why not finish out the routine? I would hope he does now that he's lost two in a row.....one to somebody with less power and slower hands who injured BOTH feet in the fight lol.

no disrespect to Tim. He's made himself into one of my favorites and he's an ironwilled beast.
